of AL-551 engine to facilitate

calibration.

1.

Test bed equipment

for AL-551 engine has been supplied

by Russian side vide SA

03561231168, Dt. 30.01.2012 and the installation and commissioning works. are underway by UMPO specialists. The test bed shall have to undergo calibration with respect to an engine already tested at Russia which is supposed to be done using Ph-O engine. 2. It may be noted that even after repeated requests from Indian side, Russian side is yet to submit DSA for supply of phase-O engines, linking it to assignment of 300 hrs of life to the engine. The engine life of 300 Hrs has been assigned by Russian side in Dec 2013 only. This delay is affecting the commissioning of test bed and will delay the project considerably. In the absence of a Phase-O engine, it is required to take up one of the engines due for supply against SA 935634211650 for calibration of test bed. However, all the requisite , data needs to be provided/supported by Russian side (NPO Saturn).

It is vyorth mentioning here that, the functionality of Koraput test bed systems will be ensured by doing shake down test by a'nother engine with small residual life, before taking up the engine meant for calibrating the testbed.

6.

Presently,

the acceptance test of the last batch of 2 engines (SA 1650) has been

commenced at NPO Saturn, Rybinsk, in presence of our representative, Mr. Seshagiri Rao, ResidentManager, HAL office,Moscow. In spite of repeated requests, NPO Saturn is not willing to &erierate and provid~ tes,t data'for the engines under testing. 7. Your interve~tion is highly solicited in 'ad~i~ing NPO Saturn to generate and supply the desired test data, without any financial implications and pre conditions, as the present situation of seeking test data from NPO Saturn has arisen due to delay in supply of Ph 0 engine which is consequential'to delay in Design & Development and Life extension of the Engine.
